Cold air IS more air. If it would have been a dry 60 degrees insted of fog, it would run even better....<br />I'd say your not a "long ways" off if it runs that much better in cool air.

Hey Guys, I noticed in the pics that the trim stop pin is in hole #2...Would it help to move it to #1 to get more "tuck" on takeoff ? I had this same motor on a 364 Ranger, and it sure helped me......Just an observation......

Im kinda new here but i still think you cant go wrong with a ss omc wheel in my opinion they make the best out of the box prop

dobers, have you ever run a Turbo, Stiletto, Mazco, power tech, hydromotive, or a Ron Hill in place of the OMC prop???<br />Have you ever run an early production Raker??<br />How about a Nauticpro???
